Anyone ever have this issue:

When I click on a persons post and try to favorite their past, GoToSocial gives me "Forbidden: you do not have permission to fave this status" It seems to be doing it for every post. Im not sure what is going on.

Reblogging works just not favorite.

pretty sure I just successfully updated my @gotosocial instance to v0.20.0!

it's my first time, but i stopped my instance, pulled the latest version, then turned it on again and it's showing as v0.20.0 in `./gotosocial --version` which is a good sign?

I'm having some serious issues with 2FA on my whole server but specifically what's biting me now is my #GoToSocial instance. Does anyone have any suggestions one how to get to my settings page if I can't get 2FA to work? I tried using the CLI to change the password which did change the password but it doesn't remove / reset 2FA. Is there anything I can do from the CLI that I'm missing?

Also if anyone has any suggestions on what could be going wrong in general with my server I'd also love to hear that too. I'm running TrueNAS and have tried adding more NTP servers in my settings and I can see anything obviously wrong there. Idk. I'm getting very frustrated with it all.

So my suspicion is that #Phanpy was somehow corrupted.

I'm not sure, however, if that's a symptom of a deeper issue, or the root cause itself.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what were the steps to fixing it?

Total annual cost of running this #gotosocial instance: $37.

$25 for VPS (1 vCPU, 3GB RAM and 100GB NVMe)
$12 for domain

A year of #fediverse for the price of two months of ad-free #netflix.

suigow.xyz upgraded from #GoToSocial v0.19.0 to v0.19.1. That was easy peasy.

I'm looking for people who have successfully migrated from SQLite to PostgreSQL for #GotoSocial. I did some tinkering using PgLoader and wasn't able to migrate the schema without dropping default values and indexes.

The next step would be to take the database structure from a clean PostgreSQL installation and migrate just the data using PgLoader, but I haven't attempted that yet.

Please share your experiences :-)

Issue I've noticed with GoToSocial since upgrading to 0.19.x

I have a second account at Mastodon.social, mostly for troubleshooting.

I've noticed there can be a significant lag — sometimes an hour or more — between when I post something on GtS and when it appears in the test account.

Rebooting my VPS appears to resolve the issue.

I'm wondering if anyone else is/has encountered this issue?

Any ideas on what could be causing it, and possible fixes?

My follower count has returned to normal after #GoToSocial did a stats regeneration ran 48 hours after my account migration. The stats regeneration and follower count issue is detailed here.

I'm sad, my follower count dropped by 1,000+ hehe.

It looks like I lost around 30 followers during the migration from chow.fan over to here. Not bad.

So, I built a new #GoToSocial instance and have migrated back. A few things have brought me back since my last GoToSocial instance:

  • Editing of statuses. This is one of the big ones and it arrived in v0.18.0. In the past, I had to delete and repost -- a lot since I make a lot of mistakes. Being able to edit is a big thing.
  • MFA. More security is always best.
  • Ivory support. Nothing that the GoToSocial folks control, but @ivory finally got support for alphanumeric post ID's which means that I can finally use it with GoToSocial.

This is on top of previous things that I liked about GoToSocial:

  • Ease of maintenance. It's so easy to install, so easy to maintain and easy to backup.
  • Low system requirements. I can run it on a low cost VPS.
  • Pretty profile page. I really like the profile page layout on GoToSocial vs #Mastodon. The GoToSocial profile is clean and is completely focused on the person. The Mastodon profile is a bit messy with instance stuff in the left and right columns; and profile in the center.

There's some stuff I'm still looking forward on GoToSocial. The biggest one would be the ability to prune posts, both personal and for instance.

I found this issue about follower counts. I'm going to wait a few days to see if my follower count fixes itself. Since it's still all wrong right now.

The setup of this instance https://suigow.xyz was a first: I setup it up while on the road. This #gotosocial instance was setup at the Centurion Lounge in the Seattle-Tacoma airport using my Thinkpad while I was waiting for my flight home -- and after eating my veggies and desserts. I got it running before catching my flight and productionized it after I got home.

Migration from #mastodon (https://chow.fan) over to #gotosocial (https://suigow.xyz) resulted in doubling my followers. It seems like a display bug because when I use the export function in GoToSocial for followers, the count in that file is correct. #gotosocialadmin #fediverse
